Detailed Solution

The variation $K_{e q}^{\circ}$ is $\ln K_{eq}^{\circ} = - \frac{Δ_{r} H^{\circ}}{T} + constant$ or $K_{eq}^{\circ} = A e^{- Δ_{r} H^{\circ} / T}$

For endothermic reactions, $Δ_{r} H^{\circ}$ is positive and thus $K_{e q}^{\circ}$ increases exponentially with increase in temperature.
